We had a great time in Pompeii and they made everything easy for us to follow. Carmen helped us navigate the packed train and to our entry point. Our guide was very knowledgeable and brought the city back to life for us.

Itinerary
After a journey of only 40 minutes, you will discover all the secrets of this ancient city of the Roman Empire that was buried after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.C. Temples, theaters, frescoes, spas, ceramics and even people were overwhelmed by the relentless lava flow of the volcano that destroyed everything and, paradoxically, everything preserved intact... That's why walking the streets of this archaeological site is a truly unique experience! You will see how the Romans lived and where they spent their free time, learning many interesting anecdotes about the city. After the visit of Pompeii, you can get back on the train that will take you back to Naples.

We got a call from somebody at Stazione Central to say we were leaving in 10 minutes. We did not even realize we were going on the trip as we had not confirmed a booking. When we got to the station, the train was gone. We asked if we could use the credit towards a trip to Pompeii from Sorrento this weekend and we were told no
Great experience! Both our guides from Rome to Naples, Laura, and from Naples to Pompeii, Nunzia, were very professional. Excellent trip worth making!
This was an excellent introduction to Pompeii. Found tour guides accent a little hard to understand but entire thing was pleasant. Recommend you use this tour as an introduction to Pompeii, then stay afterwards and explore by yourself.
We just had an exceptional service from Rita at Central Station office. With no time to spare she ran to office to get all tickets sorted and then ran with us to train to ensure we got on. She also responded immediately to request to change return train journey. Grazie mille....Roddy, Ireland
A bit confusing. The same company messaged me with two separate accounts and I didn’t know if I had double booked or what. I was given the wrong info by one guide on where the meet up was. Once it was all figured out, it was fine and the tour was great, but getting to that point was a bit concerning.
Very friendly and efficient staff who guided us from the main station, onto the right train (35 mins), and quick short shuttle bus to Pompeii. We were all given receivers to hear the guide better. Straight through the entrance, and excellent 2-hour tour guide around the site showing us the main sites, who helped us get back to the right station back to central Naples. We could have stayed longer on our own to see more if we had wanted. A great value introduction to Pompeii. Much better than an audio tour!
Amazing day out in Pompeii with Francesco, our tour guide. He was very informative, full of fun and looked after our group throughout the visit. Really great insight into life back into 79BC, in the town so incrediblypreserved. Top marks for the whole trip, which included a visit to Vesuvius, organised by the friendly staff in Naples train station
This tour was booked online. When you get to the office, a lot of instructions are given verbally, plus train & bus tickets. The 2 hour walking tour started at 12:30pm, the return train trip was booked for 4:20pm, We weren't given that information until we got to the office, so when the train was late, we had to hurry to get back to our ship in time. So poor planning & lack of communication for the company. We missed our train to Pompeii, maybe because we were given the wrong platform number. We then had to pay more for other train tickets, and the employee who arranged that for us didn't let the staff at Pompeii know, so there was no one there to meet us although she assured us there would be. This we missed the tour, finally managed to find the InStazione place, we're told we'd been given the wrong information by Naples office & told we had to buy more tickets if we wanted to go in. So €36 later, the employee set us up with audio guides on our phones, except that she didn't do it properly on my phone, so I had no commentary. Altogether, this was a massive cluster ***k, and it spoilt our chance to get the best experience for our one day at Pompeii. No communication from the company to provide feedback, I would strongly recommend that tourists should use a different company for a tour. Poor communication, wrong instructions, verbal instructions instead of written, 2 hour wait for a train back ( there were other options available) - a nightmare. Be warned!
Fantastic trip. inStazione (Rita arranged it and was brilliant -friendly, efficient). The tour guide was really good - friendly, clear and very well informed. Would strongly recommend this company.
Good, well-organized experience with our guide Nunzia who took us to Pompeii and then the visit of Pompeii itself with another guide.
Pompeii is fantastic, just like Nunzia, our guide, is fantastic. This experience in Pompeii is absolutely essential!
Well-organized tour. The guide Maria Rita was truly excellent. I recommend In Stazione for guided tours. Very knowledgeable. Thanks to Nunzia in particular.
We booked the tour to Herculaneum as well as to Pompeii. The staff was extraordinarily friendly and helpful, perfectly organized. Would love to do it again anytime!
We loved it. I recommend them. Rita who sold us the tour at the station, Nunzia who accompanied and took care of us from the station until our meeting with the guide inside the archaeological park, and Martina who stood out as an archaeologist and guide. Thank you.
Charming Nunzia guided us through the chaos of the station Wonderful Marina told us the secrets of Pompeii
Very professional The guides Grazia and Nunzia were truly professional
Nunzia is an excellent guide. She helped us with everything and recommended places to eat and drink the best Aperol. Good experience, everything very well organized.
Everything perfect. Easy and fast. Everything perfect thanks to Nunzia.
Wonderful experience, it felt like going back in time. Great job to Nunzia for accompanying us to Pompeii and giving us all the information about it. The very well-prepared guide explained everything to us perfectly. A very great, highly recommended tour.
Our visit to Pompeii was simply unforgettable, especially thanks to Anna Rita. Her professionalism, preparation, and the passion with which she tells history are truly extraordinary. With great competence and engaging enthusiasm, she managed to immerse us in the life of ancient Pompeii, transforming every stop into a story full of emotions and curiosities. She didn't just limit herself to explaining the monuments, but made us experience history as if we were there, two thousand years ago. A special thanks also to Nunzia, who accompanied us during the train trip with great kindness, helpfulness, and organization. Her attention and her smile contributed to making the entire experience pleasant and well-cared-for from the very first moment. Heartfelt thanks to Anna Rita and Nunzia for giving us a truly special day. We recommend that anyone wanting to visit Pompeii rely on them: you will find professionalism, passion, and a welcome that will make the difference.
The guides were very kind and an impressive trip.
Everything prior to arriving in Pompeii was very good. Once there, it got a bit complicated at the entrance to the site. The tour covers the essentials, and the guide, at the end, provides recommendations for continuing to visit independently. As a recommendation for those who continue independently: keep in mind that depending on the exit you take, you may end up relatively close to the Pompeii station; otherwise, it is QUITE far away.
I had booked a tour for Pompeii with transfer included. It was indicated to arrive at 11 AM at the agency to collect the train tickets as well as the entrance tickets for Pompeii, for a train departure scheduled at 11:25 AM. We arrived at 10:50 AM, but we were immediately asked to wait in a room. Time passed, and at 11:10 AM, starting to worry, I politely went to ask for information. I was told that this was not the right person and that I needed to wait for their colleague. The staff constantly passed the responsibility without ever giving a clear answer. After several requests, I was finally told to 'calm down' and that it would no longer be possible to take the originally scheduled train, but another one later. We were then asked to wait again. Finally, the train tickets and the tickets for Pompeii were handed to us at the last moment, before we were once again told to wait to be accompanied to the train. The organization was extremely poor: the schedules were not respected, the tickets were printed at the last minute, and we clearly felt that they were making groups wait in order to fill the departures more. An employee even took my phone before leaving to print the tickets at the last moment. Another problem: the tickets for Pompeii were not even in our names; they had been switched. When we reported it, we were simply told: 'Before, the tickets were not nominative; now they are,' without the slightest apology. As a result, we left late, had to take another train, and lost a considerable amount of time. We had paid for this service precisely to avoid stress and save time, but it ultimately turned out to be the opposite: more stress, more wasted time, and a much worse experience than if we had organized everything ourselves. I absolutely do not recommend this experience, and I will never go through this agency again. The staff was disorganized, unfriendly, and unable to provide clear information to the customers.
Alessia, the escort to Pompeii for today's tour, I would call her good, sweet and beautiful. Well organized tour, bravo!
We couldn't get into Pompeii. We had paid for a tour without queues and with a guide in Spanish, we have been brought by train to Pompeii and when we were already here we are told that there are no tickets to enter! Never book with these people.
I asked Chiara for information and her attitude was high-handed. She said she wasn’t going to explain because she didn’t pray and she had blown when she told me the price, I wasn’t ill-mannered and I didn’t insult her but she replied with bad milk and I’m so sorry at the end and after all I’m the customer. What princess attitudes
